Today will be the last workout of SPP week 2/8. Although really my SPP is 12 weeks because I’ll have 4 weeks of “pre comp.” Arbritrary really…
I’m working in 4 week blocks. The goal of this block is to get accel into place and get a good CNS stimulus from heavy squats/deads/throws. Next block will be working in block work and late accel/transition/early maxV work. Final block will be maxV/short speed endurance.
Since I’m having to work on an NCAA schedule (meets every week for 6-8 weeks in indoor and outdoor running 55/60, 200, 4x200, and the odd 4x4 indoor), It’d be ideal if I could get myself qualified for nat’ls early so that I can only run in meets that are important for the team and train through indoors. Indoor training will look alot like it does right now with enough density and SE work to have me ready to run 7ish events in 2 days at conference.
I’ve never performed well training for planned peaks, my best performances have come during early loading periods 4 weeks into training (coming straight from football) and off of 1 week of unloading from heavy training.

WU Green
2x30, 2x50
Had the first 30 filmed and planned to film the rest but ran into some problems with the cam… from counting the frames though I could get a time of 3.90-3.95… felt like the other runs were better because I haven’t gone from 3 point in a few weeks but I will have a similar workout before the week is over. Coach also timed my 50s from first movement and the times were identical… 5.69
Weights
PC 2,1,1
sets 1,3: 2e alt leg bound

set 2: Vsq (9lb) x4 set 4: Fsq x4

Weights went up nice and easy… used the 9lb med ball for every throw but BLV and touched the ceiling in the vertical squat for the first time ever in 3 years of doing it
Video: all I was worried about is getting the first movement and crossing the line so I dunno how much else the video is good for.

(30 fly, fef, 30 fly)(30 fly, efe, 30 fly, 30 fly)
